    Democrat and Baja Shrimp Tacos
    Myranda K.

    This is a fast casual type of restaurant. I ordered a Baja shrimp and the democrat which was with barbacoa meat. The shrimp taco was fantastic with perfectly crunchy, battered shrimp. Unfortunately, there was a large piece of fat in the barbacoa.

    Always come here on lunch breaks quick and fast

    always fast service is fast food and the chips and queso are my favorite all it's in a convenience location as well

    brush fire

    i go to torchy's all the time. allll the time. definitely have tried every item on the menu including seasonal temporary items at this point and i absolutely love the food here! highly recommend the brushfire, trailer park, chicken fajita, mr. orange, or honestly any of their tacos. the ambiance is always quite lively and inviting, especially at this college station location! service is good as well! only downsides are that the lines can get a touch long on move-in weeks or game weekends, and i do notice sometimes when asking for refills on chips and such the request can get forgotten now and then, but the place stays really busy so it's totally understandable. overall: 10/10! taste: 10/10 value: 10/10 torchy's has great value & taste and it's one of my favorite spots of all time for texas tacos.

    First time & it was AMAZING. Came from out of town for graduation and said why not instead of something we have at home. Best decision after a long flight and drive down here. Chris had the best attitude and made us feel so welcomed, especially when we said we've never been before. "I got you" and boy did he not disappoint with all the suggestions. Great experience and will end up coming back throughout my whole visit in town.

    Food was was cold from the kitchen.

    Food was cold when receiving it. I definitely think that they should have food. That's hot and ready.

    Our experience

    I want to give it a zero but that's not possible so I give it a one. Our service was not pleasant the workers buttholes and were so confused that they were literally walking in circles. Our food was terrible the tortillas were cold and they didn't have ketchup LIKE HOW DO YOU NOT HAVE KETCHUP. We asked our waiter for some ranch and 30 minutes later we had to go get it our selves. It felt as if all the workers hated their life but had to work and extra shift for the supplies. 10/10 do NOT recommend this location.

    Poblano salsa and chips

    Damn good as always. My husband and I went here for a quick lunch taco break and we were not disappointed. The Crossroads taco was delicious, of course. Hit the spot. Hubby ordered the Green Chile Pork taco and the Chicken Fajita taco. drinks were on par, chips and poblano ranch salsa were both awesome.

    fajita combo platter

    i don't live in College Station, but wanted something to eat, before heading back to Houston, when i saw this place & decided to give it a try. it was my 1st time to any Torchy's Tacos & i'm so glad i stopped here. i sat at the bar & the bar tender was very friendly & attentive. she explained the menu very well & i chose the fajita combo platter & it was delicious! it came with grilled onions & bell peppers, a side of pico de gallo, guacamole, some shredded cheese & a little sour cream & salsa, & a small bowl of rice & beans & 3 flour tortillas. everything was fresh & the meat was hot & tasty. i made 3 fairly large tacos that were quite filling. the beer was ice cold & paired well with these tacos. i'll be visiting another Torchy's Tacos in the future.

    These tacos are beyond good. The Crossroads are the go to taco in Texas. Great atmosphere & employees seem to enjoy their jobs.

    It was just ok. Service was good, speed of food arrival was good, but the pastor taco was not…read moregood. It had kind of an off taste to it. The Cochinita Pibil taco was excellent. I would definitely order that one again! Price was decent for the size of the tacos. Restaurant had a nice vibe and was clean.

    (From February 2025)…read more Taco Tuesday during my second work week in College Station back in mid February; it was a cold rainy evening and I found this place on the Toast app. Put in a large order since I was mad starving and picked up 5 classic street tacos (carnitas, bistec, & barbocoa), a pair of breakfast tacos, and a shrimp quesadilla. Yes, I was hungry. Unwrapping my items at the hotel, I began scarfing the concoctions. I liked the street tacos the most, especially the carnitas and barbocoa. Small yet lots of meat, both had good flavor. The bistec was a bit tough but seasoned right. For the breakfast tacos, I had a chorizo & egg and a potato & egg, both with jack cheese and grilled onions on flour tortillas. Both were tasty with good consistency with the tortillas. The shrimp quesadilla got a bit messy but had decent flavor. Caught me off guard since some of the shrimp and cheese would escape the tortilla upon biting it. Tried to escape my mouth; but I wouldn't be denied! Not a bad spot. It's a popular spot amongst the A&M body with multiple fast tex-mex hand held eats. I'd add this to my taco rotation next time I'm in College Station.

    Let's jump right in and get to it. To start, Coco Shrimp originated in the downtown DFW area by…read moreIsaac and Lauren Hadley along with some family members. They loved the food of Oahu, which I fully agree, is flavorful and fantastic. and I'm glad to see they're making their way south *come to Houston next?!* Location & Parking - 3.5* (5* if walking) I always like making a visiting to CS since my days living here. What I don't love is the level of change for the worse as real estate developers (in this case a PPP b/w Midway and the University) continue to bleed college kids, or their parents, for more money. So what am I ranting about as it pertains to Coco Shrimp? The parking sitch! This gem of a food spot is located in Century Square, which in itself is excellent for walking to if you're a student on campus or nearby resident. It's not so great for locals or anyone who has to drive here. The spaces are pay to park all around this area. Now, it is gratis for the first hour if you register in the ParkMobile app, and that is only good once per day. For Coco Shrimp that's plenty of time to dine and enjoy a quick catch up with friends, but no hanging around unless you want to take your chances with what are surely underpaid parking attendants just doing their jobs for the RE overlords. For reference, 1-2 hours it is $3.00, for 2-3 hours it is $4.00. Check the Century Square website, or the parking app, for the latest pricing. There is a solution to this, but I'll end this rant here. So off the bat, the whole pay to park just grinds my gears as an old timer who remembers a much different Aggieland. I'll go yell at a cloud now. Interior / Vibe - 5* Once you handle your parking situation it's all on the up from here. The interior layout, character, and vibe is solid. It definitely has the island life and chill vibe you get with little spots on the island. They have plenty of seating to meet a group of friends and they are quick to greet you. All of the interior was very clean and well kept. It shows the workers take pride and enjoy it here. Food - 5* The concept is simple, which is what makes it genius. They offer primarily rice and salad with your choice of shrimp options: spicy, sweet & spicy, butter garlic, lemon herb, or a sampler. Breaded/fried or grilled only for the options. I inhaled my entire meal, it was fantastic and I would easily eat here frequently if given the chance. The taste of Hawaiian island life is here and it's delicious. Service - 5* It's counter style ordering here and they do their best to locate you when your order is ready. They are quick to greet and they are really helpful in guiding you through the menu options. I love the sustainability aspect of providing a souvenir style cup that makes for a great cup at the house but also a discounted refill cup when you return. Really solid on their part. Cost / Pricing - 4.5* I say it all the time, this is subjective. I find it to be good value. Is it the same cost as a food truck in Hawaii that will get ya a meal for $5-10 bucks? No, is it a solid portion of fresh rice and salad, shrimp, and quality to bring it and satisfy a normal appetite? Absolutely. I think it's a fair balance. Overall - 4.5* I'm rounding up here since we can't score half ratings. I am tempted to knock it to a four star given the parking, but it's not entirely in their control aside from leasing elsewhere - I'm sure they wanted to be close to campus for strategic reason. As someone who worked in the industry, knows the work it takes day in and day out, I couldn't be happier for these folks. I'd love to meet them and have very real conversation about a Houston location. There are plenty of staples to visit in the BCS area, but this place is definitely one of my faves to visit in DFW or CS when looking for a quick, fresh bite. Come check it out!

    Coco is a nice change-of-pace spot for a lighter lunch/dinner. We took the advice of others and got…read morethe sampler platters. Think the clear winner was the original Coco Shrimp -- the butter shrimp, spicy, and sweet/spicy were all good, but were maybe trying a little too hard. Generous rice portion with the platter (enough to make this into two meals with leftovers). Great service, tasty hibiscus tea. Note that this is in Century Square, so you have to deal with that parking situation.
